Montreal Blanked by Favela, 1-0
Saturday, June 16th, 1956
Diego Favela subdued the Montreal Habitants, 1-0, pitching a 5-hit gem for the Chicago Hawks at Hyde Park Stadium.

"He was kind of teasing them with his off-speed stuff, and his fastball was moving everywhere," Chicago skipper Barry Lolicht said afterward.

Favela registered 4 strikeouts and issued 3 walks in his superb performance.

"We just didn't swing the bats very well. Or else he just pitched good, whichever way you want to look at it," said Montreal manager John Trausch after the defeat.

In 12 starts this year Favela has posted 4 wins while suffering 5 losses. He has pitched 91.2 innings, allowed 99 hits, struck out 51 and has a 3.73 ERA.
